“The new policy bans s-xualized photoshops and drawings and any degrading content “in the process of bodily functions.”

“We would also remove “unwanted s-xualized commentary” and repetitive attacks harassing an individual sexually.

“Public figures, either politicians, journalists, celebrities or content creators use Facebook and Instagram to engage directly with their followers.

“We made these changes because attacks like these can weaponize a public figure’s appearance, which is unnecessary and often not related to the work these public figures represent.”
